ESPN's Shams Charania thinks Kevin Durant may get traded within the next few days
Kevin Durant is unlikely to play for the Phoenix Suns next season, but where will he actually suit up when it is time to begin the upcoming campaign?
That much remains unclear, but it seems we may have an answer sooner than we may have expected.

While some speculated that Durant could get moved during the 2025 NBA Draft, it appears that a transaction could potentially come even earlier than that. Just ask ESPN's Shams Charania, who appeared on The Pat McAfee Show before Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Here is more from Charania:
"You said a week. I think it could be even sooner than that. I think there's some motivation with some teams, potentially even sooner than seven days, maybe in the next few days we could get some Kevin Durant trade action. There is some serious traction on conversations and trade scenarios."
According to Charania, there are approximately "six to eight" teams that have reached out about Durant.
Some of the teams most focused on Durant include the Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, and Minnesota Timberwolves.
ESPN's Bobby Marks speculated that the framework of a deal could include Rudy Gobert, Donte DiVincenzo, Mike Conley, and a non-lottery first-round pick.

This would immediately reunite Olympic teammates Durant and Anthony Edwards on the Timberwolves.
It would also give Phoenix a core of Devin Booker with Gobert, which would potentially help them at least attempt to contend as a playoff team in the Western Conference considering that they do not own the rights to their own draft picks.

Should the Nets pursue Bulls' Josh Giddey in 2025 NBA free-agency?
The Brooklyn Nets have plenty of cap space to use in the 2025 NBA offseason and that will be the case even if they decide to retain some of their more important free-agents. Brooklyn would like to improve on a roster that went 26-56 during the 2024-25 season and with that being said, it's fair to wonder if they would pursue a player whose stock rose significantly. Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey will be a restricted free-agent this summer after spending the season with the Bulls following being traded by the Oklahoma City Thunder last offseason. Giddey, 22, seemed to raise his stock significantly after averaging 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 46.5% from the field and 37.8% from three-point land. Advertisement One of the ways that the Nets can explore using their cap space, as noted by ESPN's Bobby Marks, is by using their money to go after restricted free-agents, such as Giddey, given that most marquee unrestricted free-agents are rarely let go by their incumbent teams without a trade. Given where Chicago is in the context of the league, they finished the season with a 39-43 record, they may be willing to let someone like Giddey walk if the price to keep him is too steep. HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reported in May that "the belief around the league is Bulls restricted free agent guard Josh Giddey hopes to command a similar five-year, $150 million deal to Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs and earn roughly $30 million annually or more." While paying Giddey $30 million per season would be a big investment for Brooklyn so early in the rebuild, it's important to note that figure may be the going rate for someone of his caliber. NBA insider Jake Fischer reported last week that Giddey is expected to remain with the Bulls due to the season that he had for Chicago along with the fact that the team might be trying to retool around Giddey after trading away DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine over the course of the campaign. Time will tell what the Bulls do in free-agency, but if they're willing to let Giddey walk, Brooklyn could have their point guard of the future.

NBA star Kevin Durant's custom Oklahoma City townhome hits the market — starting at $35
NBA star Kevin Durant's custom Oklahoma City townhome hits the market — starting at $35 Show Caption Hide Caption Which NBA stars do we expect to see in the 2028 Olympics? LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant led Team USA to another gold at the Paris Olympics, and it's a good thing because the team will look VERY different in 2028. But which stars can we expect to see back? An Oklahoma City townhome formerly owned by NBA star Kevin Durant is on the market once more, but the price will surprise you. This three-story, custom townhome in the historic Deep Deuce neighborhood was designed by Durant during his time with the Oklahoma City Thunder has been listed on Redfin with a starting price of only $35. Yes, you read that right. Ieasha Larkpor, managing broker for Thunder Team Realty, said the current homeowners didn't want to put an asking price on the home — instead, they want interested buyers to get with their real estate agent and prepare their own offer for the home. Pre-approved buyers can schedule a tour of the home, and an open house will be held every Sunday each week until it sells, Larkpor said. Here's what to know about the home. Famous real estate: 40 celebrities and athletes who call this Florida county home Former home of Kevin Durant for sale Inside the nearly 4,000 square-foot home, you'll find a basement-level two-car garage with a private elevator that goes to all three floors of the townhome. The home has two kitchens, four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. Durant purchased the home in 2013 and converted it and the neighboring townhome into a single home. The homes have since been separated and sold separately, with a kitchen being added back into the 420 townhome along with other modifications required after Durant's renovations.
